Dll Initialization Failed

Hi-I have done the various scans and do not appear to have a virus, though I have removed a lot of spyware. I am not sure if this is the use of HijackThis.My problem is annoying but not locking up my computer. When I shut down, frequently I get a message that says "waol.exe-DLL Initialization Failed: The application failed to initialize because the window station is shutting down." Recently, I got a similar message on shutting down which said "ShellRestart.exe-DLL Initialization Failed:..." Is their anything I can do about these messages? What do they mean?

You may want to reinstall AOL to fix the problem. This forum is for helping users clean their computers of infections. If you want help troubleshooting your problem I suggest you post it in the Windows XP forum.
